This website proves itself incredibly useful! It really looks into the insulin drug and helps me to understand it so much more. I really like how detailed it is and easy to read, so it is a great site for people who do not know much about scientific terms and are just starting out. I recommend this site to anyone interested in pharmacy and anything related to that field because this site will help you understand more about the drugs that you are selling and/or making. All in all, I think this site really helped me to understand exactly what it was that I wanted/needed to know.

This website gives a lot of information in an overview format of the brain and the nervous system, brain tests, and treatments. Also listed are a few brain conditions (ie. headaches, aneurysms, etc). At the bottom of the website are many other similar resources for further research. This is a reliable and useful source because upon checking the sources I found that the information is written by doctors. This source was very helpful in terms of hindering a basic understanding of the brain. The diagram is helpful in visualizing the different parts of the brain.

Summary: In this article the main focus is the amazing things that people's brains can do, but specifically that even when we're sleeping, our brains can process and respond to words! This has been a theory of many people for the past hundreds of years, and now it's been proven. One of the people who was subject to this was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose mother would wake him up in the dead of night, and would give him music lessons then, when his brain was awake and free of distractions, and from there, Mozart could do nothing but absorb the information being embedded in his brain. And the knowledge about being able to understand words in your sleep could change the way people learn languages and study for exams. For example, if you go to sleep listening to a language learning tape, you will comprehend the bulk of the words in theory, and by default, will be learning in your sleep!

Summary: The belief by many medical professionals is that better understanding of neuroscience will be achieved through investment in technology that focuses on such. But Dr. Allan Ropper believes that learning from talking, feeling, and watching is just as important as fancy scans and MRI's. As he talks about in his interview, administering bedside tests can, and will give you results that would have never been retrieved by using a machine. For example, Dr. Allan Ropper conducted an experimental test on a woman who was having muscle troubles, and by using a blood pressure pump, he discovered that she has a disease that weakens muscles with repeated use. The other doctors believed earlier that it was a stroke that made her feel weak, but Dr. Ropper proved them wrong. In Ropper's new book "Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole", he delves deeper into why neuroscience should use bedside tests more often, because in times like the one described, it's the only way to get the true answer.

Outrageous Audio provides information for you to better understand subwoofers and car audio in general. Do it right the first time!

This site will give you a understanding on how to break down the individual steps to using a computer to someone that might not know how to use one and it was very helpful in the process of me teaching the older residence at Living Well in a way they would understand.

This website was very useful in the sense that it gave me a very strong and detailed overview of the pharmacist job. It gave me salary info, training details, and plenty of other wonderful facts that I can use to understand the job more thoroughly.

This site gives overall, the best definition of what dementia is and how it affects the body in a way that is easy to understand with many of other links. The purpose of this webpage is to give information about medical diseases and illness, not just Dementia, which are covered intensely. Overall useful source that provided a different way of providing a non-bias definition of dementia, and very recommendable.

We use these videos a lot in AP Bio and they've been incredibly helpful in understanding human processes and other areas of biology, as well as a little bit of chemistry. They are simple enough for anyone to understand, as long as they watch the correct videos first, but covers so many subjects that it's incredibly helpful for either a wide-spectrum or specific study.

Summarize: The main points of the Environmental Biology website is to show the five main nutrient cycles: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and water and how energy flows through ecosystem. The topics covered include: ~the roles of an organism (such as a consumer, herbivores, etc.) ~energy flow through an ecosystem ~food chains and webs/ pyramids and biological magnification ~Humans vs. natural food chains This article goes through the basics of ecology and is very easy to understand. There are pictures of the cycles that relate to the reading. Review and access: This is a wonderful source because it includes all the different nutrient cycles as well as pictures and writing. It also brings up many concepts: bio magnification, the different roles of an organism and human vs. natural food chain. This website doesn't go in depth in a specific part of ecology, but is instead a basic and broad overview of the whole thing. Most websites either only talk about food chains or nutrient cycles, yet this website includes it all. This website is reliable, because I have compared it to other websites and classwork. I would recommend using this website when learning basic ecology or just refreshing your mind because a lot of simple concepts are mentioned. This article won't take long to read, because everything is pretty broad. Reflect: This source was helpful for me when refreshing my knowledge on the water cycle and learning about the oxygen and nitrogen cycle. I have used this site as a notes resource for the ecology unit in my biology class. This site has helped me to better understand the different cycles, the movement of energy through an ecosystem and food chains vs. food webs. ~Riley

Biology online is a website that helped me throughout the course of the second semester. Its main purpose is to provide definitions for Biology terms. Whenever I was confused about a term or topic we were covering in Biology this site helped me understand. It is useful because all the definitions are so easily accessible. This source is very reliable and in depth, it gives the same definitions that are in class notes. I would recommend this website, it has helped me with so many homework assignments and helped me study for tests. This source gives direct answers and spot on examples to help people get a better understanding of the overall topic.

All of the physics problems assigned in MIT's OCW 8.0.1 Physics courseware in this book, and I use it to learn more about how the world works. Great resource for highly motivated high school student and college students.

This is one of the books referenced by the MIT OpenCourseWare Physics class. It is an invaluable resource as it contains problems assigned in the course. These problems are used to ensure that we (students) are understanding the material and more importantly understanding what material we do not yet know.

This video is extremely useful in order to understand how the trainers interact with the animals, specifically the orcas. This video really inspired me, seeing them give commands and having the orcas jump out of the water or swim to them. It is also truly incredible to see the trainers pat and feed the orcas, as well as learn about them in their meetings. The most incredible part of this video is seeing the trainers talking about their bonds with the animals. This video is definitely a must see for anyone interested in training animals of any kind, but specifically marine mammals. It will really help the viewer understand how special it truly is to interact with these animals daily as a profession.

This video was an incredible resource. I really got to understand the relationship between trainer and dolphin. I think this video definitely helped me to see the different personalities of dolphins, as well as their personalized training regimen and preferences. This really gave me a deep understanding of the topic that I would never have been able to have achieved unless I was right there having the trainers tell me this. This video is a must see for anyone looking into becoming a trainer, or just trying to study dolphins in general. Truly an amazing resource.

This video really helped me to understand the misconceptions of Blackfish and the reality of modern marine mammal training. This video is definitely a must see for aspiring marine mammal trainers so that they may see the truth and the reality of what marine mammal training is like now in this day and age. This video really explains the work that SeaWorld puts into their animals and the lies that Blackfish tells its viewers. This video also helps the viewer to understand some of the little known things that go into marine mammal training and upkeep.
